Song Qingshu was a bit surprised that she would say this. He asked, "Then do you have any experience riding a horse?"
"No." Shen Bijun shook her head. There weren't many horses in the entire Southern Song Dynasty. As a daughter of a noble family, it was even more impossible for her to come into contact with something like riding a horse.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to teach you first. Once you're proficient, I'll let you ride a horse by yourself," Song Qingshu said hesitantly.
Shen Bijun slightly lowered her head. It was impossible to see her expression, but she replied in an almost inaudible voice, "Okay."
Song QingShu was taken aback. He had thought that she would reject him outright. How could a virtuous lady like her be entangled with a man in such a way? It had to be known that it was like asking for her life to take off her shoes and socks.
But she just had to say okay?
He was worried that she didn't know how to ride a horse, so he had to add, "You don't have the slightest foundation. At first, we can only ride together because there will inevitably be physical contact when I teach you …"
"I know …" Shen Bijun wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. Everyone said that he was a man who knew how to win a woman's heart, but why did he look like a fool now?
Of course, she kept hinting to herself that the main reason she had suggested this was because she had been poisoned, causing him to delay his journey in order to save her. She had no way to repay him, so she could only do her best to make it up to him.
The corner of Song Qingshu's mouth rose slightly. Hearing her say this, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to confirm it again. Any man would tacitly agree to physical contact with such a beauty — although it wasn't that, it was enough to make a man proud.
But he suddenly put away his smile because he was currently in a relationship and didn't want to betray a woman's feelings. He wanted to say something to her, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Was he supposed to tell her not to like his brother because he had too many beautiful wives?
Just thinking about it made him want to beat her up. Moreover, this kind of young miss would definitely be very thin-skinned. If he said that, she would definitely be too ashamed to show her face. Perhaps she would even think of committing suicide …
Although Song Qingshu didn't have any love for Shen Bijun right now, facing such a beauty, no man would be able to harden his heart and watch her die. Furthermore, she was related to Shen Xiaolong's attitude.
If it was before, he would have most likely pursued Shen Bijun in order to win over Shen Xiaolong. But this time, he was in the Jin Kingdom and Liao, and he had to deal with a few beauties in a short period of time. Although he had a divine technique protecting his body, he couldn't help but feel a trace of exhaustion in his heart. Even more so, he felt sorry for those beauties. They loved him wholeheartedly, but he fell in love with every one of them he met. It was far too unfair to them, so he didn't want to let down any more of them.
I want to be a good person but I make too many mistakes. I want to be a bad person but I'm not completely bad. What a pain in the ass. Song Qingshu secretly despised himself.
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Qingshu went to untie the carriage and abandoned it in the forest. Then, he gathered the horses and said, "Let's go."
Shen Bijun nodded and prepared to climb onto a horse. However, she normally wouldn't be able to easily climb onto a big horse like the north, let alone now that her leg was injured.
Seeing her anxious expression, Song Qingshu walked forward. "I'll help you." With that, he put his arm around her waist and gently placed her on the horse.
"Ah!" Although Shen Bijun was mentally prepared, she still jumped in fright when she was suddenly carried by a man. She instinctively clamped her legs together.
The horse didn't understand what was going on. After receiving the usual order, it subconsciously galloped forward. Shen Bijun didn't expect this to happen. She let out a startled cry. How could she sit still? Her body tilted and she fell to the ground.
In Jiangnan, she had heard many rumors about a certain young master accidentally falling down while learning how to ride a horse. If he didn't break his leg, then his face was disfigured. There was also one who fell to the ground and broke his neck. He would have to spend the rest of his life in bed. No matter what the situation was, she couldn't bear it. She was terrified, but she couldn't make a sound. Her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't call for help.
Just as her mind was blank, a mellow voice entered her ears. "I'm sorry. I was careless and scared Bijun."
Shen Bijun no longer felt the cold wind. Instead, she felt like she was in a warm embrace. She opened her eyes and found that she was lying in Song Qingshu's embrace. The two of them were riding horses together.
Instinctively, she sat up straight and wanted to break free from his hands. However, she immediately remembered what she had just promised, and her tensed body slowly relaxed.
Song Qingshu smiled. "Bijun, your body really is as light as a swallow. I couldn't even feel your weight when I picked you up."
"How could that be? I ate a lot in the palace a few days ago. I'm definitely fatter than before." Shen Bijun hastily explained.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. Whether it was the women of the future or the women of this world, they all misunderstood the word "fat."
He was holding a young woman in his arms. That soft, boneless feeling and the faint fragrance of a young woman made Song Qingshu's heart as hard as stone. Now, his body was as hard as stone.
"Brother Song, did you bring a sword?" Shen Bijun felt a bit uncomfortable and subconsciously twisted her waist.
"I don't need a weapon anymore." Song Qingshu replied with a bit of pride. He didn't understand why she would ask this question.
"Then …" Shen Bijun suddenly realized something. Her face turned as red as the sunset, and she didn't dare move.
Song Qingshu finally reacted. He didn't think that an experienced man like him would fall for a little girl. In order to dissolve the awkward atmosphere, he quickly changed the topic and focused on teaching her how to ride a horse.
However, for some reason, Shen Bijun, who seemed to be a very smart girl, couldn't learn how to ride a horse. Fortunately, Song Qingshu had brought several horses with him. Otherwise, even a ferghana horse would collapse from exhaustion after carrying two people for a long time.
In this way, the two hurried southwest. They crossed the plank road in the Qinling Mountains, passed Hanzhong, and entered the sword pavilion. Finally, they were getting closer and closer to Chengdu. They found an inn in Mianzhu and settled down.
Song Qingshu stood by the window and looked in the direction of Chengdu. He was a bit worried about the current situation in Sichuan. Although Shen Xiaolong was loyal to him, he didn't have any effective means to keep him in check. The only people who were truly on his side were Ruan Xingzhu and Lin Pingzhi. Speaking of Lin Pingzhi, when he used the Death Chamber to eliminate King Yili in Xixia, it became the beginning of the turmoil in Xixia. After returning to Sichuan, he relied on this contribution and Song Qingshu's arrangements to quickly rise to the top. Now, he was about to become the third in command in Sichuan. However, his foundation was still too shallow, and he couldn't compare to Shen Xiaolong.
At this time, Shen Bijun's cry of alarm came from next door. Song Qingshu was startled. Did some bad guys break into her room? He hastily ran to the next room through the window.
However, when he entered the room, he didn't see the shadow of the bad guys. He only saw the whole room filled with flying gauze and Shen Bijun standing quietly in front of him. Song Qingshu was about to open his mouth to ask, but what happened in front of him made him speechless.
He saw Shen Bijun slowly untied her clothes and took them off. She didn't take them off very quickly because she was, after all, a virgin girl. Taking the initiative to take off her clothes in front of a man made her feel very shy and ashamed. Her hands kept trembling.
After taking off her clothes, more than half of her flawless body was revealed in front of Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but speak, "Bijun, what are you …"
